Android How to rotate the needle when changing speed?

I wrote an application where I have a speedometer with needle , and I'm trying to rotate the needle around its center with a change in speed.

I calculate the speed of downloading from the Internet from the fact that this angle is also measured,

My question is: how to fix the needle at one end in the center of the speedometer?

How to rotate a needle with changing angle values?

I expect this

enter image description here

here the needle does not fix the central position. How to fix the center of the needle as the first image center

enter image description here

Here is the custom GaugeView I wrote: GaugeView.java

And the XML file gauge_layout.xml layout:

 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <AbsoluteLayout android:id="@+id/gaugeFrame" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scaleType="fitXY" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/gaugeNeedleLay" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="center" android:orientation="vertical" android:scaleType="fitXY" > </LinearLayout> </AbsoluteLayout></LinearLayout> 

Implementation Example:

 final GaugeView gv=(GaugeView)findViewById(R.id.gaugeView1); gv.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.gaugeback_image); gv.setNeedleBackgroundResource(R.drawable.needle_image); gv.setDiameter(460); gv.createNeedle(50,230,0,-20); gv.setAngleRange(45,315); 

UPDATE:

AbsoluteLayout deprecated. You can replace it with RelativeLayout and some code changes.

Here is a good tutorial that I found what an old thermometer does using similar animations:
